Definitions

  • This patent application concerns a device for the collection, transfer and automatic unloading, using a single actuator, of garment hangers between two adjacent overhead transport lines, of the sort that are commonly used in the clothing industry or in their storage or shipment warehouses, where the handling of the garments from one operating station to an other occurs by means of closed loop overhead transport lines, on which the garments are hung each with a garment hanger, whose hook can be put into anyone of the uninterrupted series of slots that have been cut out of the mobile part of the said transport systems.
  • transfer device in jargon, which is able to collect one hanger at a time from a first transport line and unload it on a second transport line alongside the first one, bringing about during the transfer phase also the necessary 180° rotation to the hanger, in order that the hanger's hook now faces with its concave and open extremity the slot on which it is to be loaded.
  • transfer devices basically consist of a supporting frame made of a horizontal framework that has to be place transversally and above the two overhead lines between which the garment transfer is to take place.
  • This framework acts as a support rail and guide for a trolley, to which is suspended the hanger hook seizing hook, made of two vertical grips capable of clutching the hanger hook at the top of its hook-shaped part.
  • the hook has to be carried in various motions, apart from the backward-and-forward motion between the two overhead lines which are side by side; as already mentioned, the hook has to rotate 180° on a vertical axis, in order to turn the hanger hook round during the transfer.
  • this hook has to be first lowered above the hook-shaped part of the hook, in order to allow it to be clutched by the above-mentioned pair of grips, and then raised again and moved back at the same time to retrieve the hook-shaped part from the slot it is hanging in.
  • every hook motion is due to a specific pneumatic or electric actuator: indeed, there is one actuator for the rotation of the hook around a vertical axis, and another actuator for the hook's vertical rectilinear motion, while obviously a third actuator has to be used for the backward and forward transport of the said hook-carrier trolley along the said framework.
  • the aim of the present invention is to implement a device for the collection, transfer and automatic unloading of garment hangers between two adjacent overhead transport lines using only a single actuator, and precisely the one in control of the hook-carrier trolley motion, in order to make the implementation of the said transfer devices more cost-effective while making them at the same time more reliable, the said actuators and corresponding starting and stopping sensors being the components that require most attention for setting and maintenance.
  • the transfer device uses a guide rail which is specially profiled in its final section on the side where the hanger is collected, and a special hook-carrier trolley with a pair of modelled rams suited to cooperate with appropriate matching cams to be found, if necessary, along the said rail.
  • - Fig. 2 is a blown-up drawing of a detail of fig. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 and 4 show, seen from two different angles, the hook-carrier trolley which is and integral part of the device according to the invention
  • the transfer device is of the sort that includes a supporting frame consisting of a horizontal framework (1 ) that has to be placed transversally and above the two overhead lines (A and B) between which the garment transfer is to take place.
  • the said framework (1 ) acts as a support and guide rail for a trolley (2), onto which inside is fixed a hook (3) of the known type, made of two vertical grips (3a) capable of clutching the hook (G) of a hanger at the top of its hook- shaped part.
  • the said hook (3) is fixed to the base of a support "C"-shaped clamp (4); this clamp is itself fixed to a vertical axed pin (5) which rotates freely inside its seat, in the trolley (2) body (2a): indeed part of the said pin (5) goes through the trolley (2) from bottom to top.
  • the said trolley (2) also includes a horizontal beam (2b) that goes through the said body (2a) and that supports two wheels (7a and 7b), one at each end, held loosly by corresponding pins (8), horizontal axis, protruding on one side of the said beam (2b).
  • the framework (1) is made of metal box-shaped profile presenting an overturned L profile, in which two parallel sliding and guide rails ( 9 and 10) for the trolley (2) are to be found: one is on the side (9) , placed on the inside of the side-board (1a) of the profile, the other is on the top (10), placed with its head below its horizontal side (1 b).
  • These rails (9 and 10) have final sections (9a and 10a) which are parallel and tilted downwards, next to the extremity of the framework (1 ) that rises above the transport line (A), from which the garments have to be collected to be transfered to the other transport line (B).
  • the trolley (2) 's free wheels (7a and 7b), with a horizontal axis, are placed and slide inside the side rail (9); the beam (2b) stays outside this rail, and is hooked by means of a horizontal arm (2c) to the actuator (11), in charge of carrying the trolley (2) in alternate strokes along the framework (1 ).
  • the said ball bearings ( 6c and 6e), on the other hand, are both placed and slide inside the top rail (10); it should be reminded that these ball bearings lie on different levels: indeed, the said rail (10) has a guideway which is deep enough to take both ball bearings (6c and 6e) side-by-side.
  • the said niche (12) is placed between a pair of identical, aligned, symmetrical, fixed vertical axed pins (13), protruding below the rail (10) and bearing the corresponding ball bearings (13a) at their base, placed at the same position and sliding level as the above-mentioned pair of rams (6a), that are therefore bound to interfere with one of the said ball bearings (13a) during every trolley (2) stroke along the framework (1).
  • Figures 7, 8, 11 , 12 and 13 show how this interference causes the first 90° rotation of the rotating pin (5), and therefore of the hook (3) fixed to the base of the said pin (5); the second 90° pin rotation is due to the interference between the said ball bearing (6c) and one of the side walls of the said niche (12).
  • the said niche acts as a proper matching and guide cam for the ball bearing (6c), it has an opening with perfectly jointed angles, with the same curvature radius as the ball bearing's radius (6c).
  • this beam (2b) is such that when the trolley (2) ends its stroke on the transport line side (A), its wheel (7b) does not go down the descending section (9a) of the rail (9), where only the other wheel (7a) goes down.
  • the size of the whole trolley and of the hook-carrier clamp (4) is such that to the rotary-translatory motion corresponds a vertical shift of the hook (3) at the moment in which its grips (3a) get to the hook (1) to seize it and go back up immediately afterwards to retrieve it from its hanging position.
